A) it was a complete own goal. there was no need and no advantage to be gained by Hillary for insulting Tulsi.
B) It has demonstrated just how many political players and commentators are still dependent on and controlled by the Clinton machine - like Egg McMuffin here.

Why I say controlled by - because any independent thinker, even leftists (and some are represented in that thread) will instantly recognize that this is an idiotic, pointless, insane attack that should never have been made.

============

I think that's her plan.

It all depends on which way the purge within the Democratic Party will go.

The Establishment has ceded a lot of power to the activist left within their party organs. Will the Establishment be able to assert the kind of control within, say, the DNC to push out any and all remaining members of the activist left if they nominate someone like Warren for president and she loses embarrassingly badly to Trump?

If they do, the Gabbard is in a good place to take some kind of leadership somewhere in the party.

If the status quo continues, or if the activist left ends up pushing out the Establishment, then she has a much less sure shot.

Still, betting on an Establishment to retain control of a party's controls seems like a safe bet.

I'd argue that that ship has already sailed, TJM.

They've lost control. It's now up to the combatants to decide who will be the next establishment. Very similar to what's happening in the GOP now. And in those situations, people aligned with the fallen Establishment are at a distinct disadvantage.

If the Left suffers a catastrophic failure next year, someone like Gabbard, who presents herself (utterly dishonestly) as more moderate, but in opposition to the Party apparatus, while actually seeking Leftist aims, is VERY well positioned to take the reins.

It is. As others (esp. T Servo) has pointed out, the "military" is hamstrung by coup fears, so the cartels are free to arm to whatever level they wish.

I could see that. She does seem to have that set of "credentials".

The only big question that will affect that, I think, is "Who's the nominee?"

Bernie's loss in the general guarantees a huge internal fight.

Biden's loss in the general guarantees a huge internal fight.

Warren's loss? I'm less sure of that. She has a toe in the Establishment waters, though she's definitely more of the activist left overall. I would imagine a fight, but not quite a party ending fight that leaves no one standing.

Good article, explains a lot. Probably, as that article says, Mexico simply devolves into warlordism, since no one centrally will ever have the nerve to do what would have to be done. This btw is where anarchists and libertarians are oh so wrong - when Central Authority breaks down, a country doesn't get "liberty", they get dozens of warlord and fiefdoms all run by whoever has the most guns in that particular area. That's sadly been the norm of most human history.

There is a way for the Central Govm't to break this, but it would require a fanatically dedicated group, and I don't see that happening. And yes, it would require tens of thousands of summary executions, especially among the upper classes. I'm not saying I am in favor of that, or think that will happen. More like, they have run so far down that this is the only avenue they have left to avoid eventual societal collapse.

I'm probably a minority view here on this, but I really do believe a well functioning society needs a competent "elite". But one thing Trump is revealing is that on both the left and right, our elites basically suck. The most troubling thing I find about Comey and Brennan and the other CIA, FBI people who have made the news isn't really their dishonesty (although that is troubling), it's how stupid and blinkered they are. These are our best and brightest? Then we are fucked. I do think Trump is in many ways a loon, but he's not as much of a loon as Hillary, Bernie, Biden (who is also dumb as a box of rocks) and Warren, and so I will walk through fire to vote for him. But we're in pretty bad shape if that's the best we can do (and it is). Who our society has somehow elevated to elite status is truly troubling.

See, though... The Party has made a headlong rush to pander to the Left after Thundershart's loss. ALL of their candidates are accepting the identical hard-Left platform. The only dissenter on any issue is Tulsi - on one issue.

If they lose next year - the Left wing of the Party will be blamed for it. Tulsi could and will capitalize on that. "I was the only one who went against them, and the only one who can right the ship" will be her message.

If they win - the Squad takes over.

If they haven't figured out that Trump does this stuff intentionally by now they are never going to learn.

See, though... The Party has made a headlong rush to pander to the Left after Thundershart's loss. ALL of their candidates are accepting the identical hard-Left platform. The only dissenter on any issue is Tulsi - on one issue.

If they lose next year - the Left wing of the Party will be blamed for it. Tulsi could and will capitalize on that. "I was the only one who went against them, and the only one who can right the ship" will be her message.

But we're going to have about six months of a general election. In that time, unless the candidate is Bernie, there is going to be moderation of tone and message.

The center-left will blame the activist left for the craziness of the primary for the loss. The activist left will blame the center left for the moderation of the general for the loss.

What will matter will be personnel. Who was at the top of the ticket and were they more aligned with the far left or the center left?

Clinton was a machine politician of the establishment and her faction took complete blame for the loss because there was no one else. They ceded ground to Bernie and his supporters afterwards.

What if Biden wins the nomination? (I don't think he will.) Where will the blame go? To the activist left who didn't get their candidate or to the Establishment who hoisted another flawed candidate on the party?

What if Warren wins the nomination and spends six months moderating her tone and message? Who gets the blame? Who gets purged?

The elite has its place. Every natural human system has a hierarchy. It's about how you build that hierarchy. Ours was supposed to be based on merit - the competent rise and the extremely competent become elite.

It has failed. Our elites are incompetent buffoons with the trappings of elitism but none of its substance. I don't think Trump can really fix it, though he seems to be trying through exposing it to sunlight. The "meritocracy without merit" (as Tucker calls it) has been exposed. Whether it is replaced - and if the replacement is any better - is very much an open question. The current elite and their hangers-on just want an old European-style aristocracy - an elite with no qualifications at all.

Ok, I think the election destroyed Hillary's mind. To me, that interview could only be the ramblings of a paranoid unhinged mind - all the people she mentioned wronged her and caused the election to be stolen from her. Jill Stein!

If I were Tulsi and her handlers I would be on the lookout for Russians and other foreign nationals suddenly popping up wanting to talk to her or making entreaties to her campaign.

Hillary Clinton's little attack sort of gave away how the whole game and the Deep State operates.

Head of the five families of the Deep State makes a claim of being a foreign agent or being a puppet of a foreign government, that claim and circular media reporting create a predicate for opening an IC/LE investigation, investigation creates the imprimatur for spying both through technology and running human assets at the target, and before you know it you charged with lying to investigators.

Or much worse.

The scales have been lifted from our eyes, we've seen this racket play out in real-time.

Some may note a certain hypocrisy in ridiculing someone for using a made up name to post on the internet. Reminds me of a Rumpole episode. Rumpole is defending a B actress and, before court, the judge and attorneys are in the robing room where they don their robes and powdered wigs. Rumpole is explaining his client is an actress in some period farce. "People who dress up in funny clothes?" the judge asks, horrified, as he puts on his robe and wig.

245 I'm probably a minority view here on this, but I really do believe a well functioning society needs a competent "elite". "

This may be a key to the cyclical nature of all human society. I think you're correct, a well functioning society does need a competent "elite"; BUT all "elites" become self serving and totally corrupt within 2 or 3 generations. After that, they either need to be overthrown or they take the entire society down with them.

This also may be a difference between a conservative mindframe and a progressive one. Prog's think that if we can just figure out the formula, we will enter a Glorious New Future where everything will be wonderful and happy and enlightened forever. Conservatives know that no matter how good a job we do, a few generations down the road (maybe a lot less than a few) it's all going to be burned down and they'll have to start over from scratch. The only real question is how long can we keep things going decently til that happens.

Think about it. Hillary knows that we hate her.

Well looky here, EVERYONE on the right is coming to Gabbards defense and getting a more "moderate look at her.

I doubt that. She is certainly in the Left's camp, though. I don't know that Hillary would be willing to offer herself as a sacrifice to allow Tulsi to slice off the margins of Trump's support.

It may well work out that way, though, as a Left Antiestablishment candidate can snipe from a Right Antiestablishment candidate. It is why I fear Tulsi. I think the Dems have more reason to fear her in 2020 but if things break her way she's going to be a problem in 2024.

With Hillary's ilk anything is possible. However, do you really think Hillary would allow Tulsi to say what she said about her? That's waaaaaay too honest for Hillary to support. We like what Tulsi said because it's fricken true.

It's quite an eye-opener to read through that thread, and to see just how many of the responses support Hillary! As I said upthread, it's direct testimony as to the size and power of the Clinton organization, and as to how many assets they still control

And what a beautiful irony - spend 30 years building up the most potent and covert political machine in America, and then hand all the controls over to a bitter, insane old drunk.

There is something about Utah that's just half a bubble off plumb. I drive through frequently on I-15, and traffic on that road is is just nuts through the Salt Lake megalopolis. And their damned street names? There aren't any. Interchanges are marked like "20400 South" or "2120 North" to represent their road's designation in the town grid. But there's at least 8 towns between Ogden and Santaquin, and all off them have a "Main Street" and various iterations of "400 South" or whatever. Confuzzling, it is.

I haven't read the book yet, "Behind the Thin Green Line," but yes, the cartels have been operating here for years.

Remember, Clinton in 92 and 96 was aided by Ross Perot doing nothing but attacking Bush and Dole. In 2016, Hillary was aided by Johnson and Weld doing nothing but attacking Trump and pretty much endorsing everything that Hillary was for.

America was supposed to be a meritocracy. But when a red-blooded American male becomes successful he immediately finds himself a trophy wife with bodacious ta-ta's and the brains of a tent peg. Then they start producing kids that are cute but retarded.

The divorce stories are horrifying! But thank you for posting them. They steel my resolve to never date/get married again. I don't do community property.

Just a quick perspective check in the middle of the mockery of Clinton and the NeverTrumpers. (But I repeat myself.)
This Tulsi Gabbard, her political positions are still rather firmly in the "democratic socialist" zone of the spectrum, aren't they? Well, except for being more non-interventionist focused than most of the other "democratic socialist" types currently running. Her economic policies though are all the same tax the "rich" and corporations, "free" college, "free" healthcare, Green Nude Eel, open borders, and the rest.
So, okay, she does not work for Putin. But in any other circumstance, she is still rather firmly in the "fellow traveler" camp.
So "from a certain point of view", this is merely one Alinskyite trying to expose and purge a co-useful idiot for being both more popular and not of the right sub-faction. She is definitely not the "alternative candidate you're looking for".

If the never trumpers are trying to bait us and get
our ire up, lol. I've gone to laughing at them. They sound more
ludicrous every day. And we know underneath it all is pure anger and
embarrassment.

More likely it's $$$ underneath it all.

They need to seem like influencers for their new handlers to keep the checks coming. They are desparate now, but even being attacked as idiots looks better than the total ignoring that they would otherwise face.
